However in the happier years from 1944 to 1946 he wrote this duo, a string trio and three quartets, not to mention two symphonies, an opera, a piano concerto and a host of less foraml works of every kind.

Fantastic piece with an exciting first movement followed by a beautiful, melodic middle movement. I have not attempted the final movement yet. The violin part is not easy. Violin and viola are of equal importance in this music, which is great.Anonymous
